Need help with BEC auto-restart

[disto1978]

Hello,

In HiveExt.ini i have set

[Time]
Type = Static
Hour = 8

...but absolute no effect. The serverrules i have set in the scheduler working fine (ID 23,24) but absolute no warings about restarting and the server don´t shut down after 6 hours. Can someone tell me please why this don´t working?

Have you tried

[disto1978]

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Does the counter starts at serverstart or have i sync it with the server daytime?

 

In my HiveExt.ini i have set...

[Time]
Type = Static
Hour = 8

If i want a restart evey 3 hours have i set the counter for restart at 030000 or 110000?

Same problem

Some important things to remember when running BEC:

 

1.) Restart warnings should be using time format 2, as it is specific to real world, ie 6am = 06:00:00

2.) "Advertising" messages that you want to show every 20 min or so (advertising TS/Website/etc) should be in time format 1, as it is specific to how long Bec has been running, ie every 25 min = 002500

3.) When using time format 2, you need to know what timezone your server is in, as it will read the time from the actual server.

4.) BEC is started as a separate service from Arma 2 - there are always going to be slight delays when timing things, so give yourself a 30 sec margin in messages.

5.) Use the to be safe.
